Summary
Warning! You should not delete default search engines from a search.json.mozlz4 file if you edit the file. If you delete a default search engine then the Firefox will reset search engine list to a default state. But you can add new search engines. Maybe there is another way to delete default search engines except Firefox Preferences menu but I don't know how.
How to
- Find a search.json.mozlz4 file inside of your Mozilla Firefox profile folder.
- Open the search.json.mozlz4 file with the mozlz4-edit extension.
- Edit a search engine list.
- Save the search.json.mozlz4 file in your Mozilla Firefox profile folder, replace the existed search.json.mozlz4 file by your new version.
- Restart the Mozilla Firefox.
Note There're .lz4 ( .jsonlz4, .jsonlz4-xxxx, .baklz4 etc) files inside of a Firefox's profile folder but actually they're mozlz4 files. You can try to open and edit these files.
